      Yeah, this is what so many people miss: privacy in the moment of browsing is only one of several problems. There’s also the much longer term problem of web standards developing in such a way as to facilitate the stripping of privacy, and using a browser that facilitates Google’s hegemony over those standards enables that.

        Even Vanadium supports Google’s hegemony over web standards and is therefore evil (I say as someone who otherwise likes and uses GrapheneOS).

        It is a bad mistake that the GrapheneOS people haven’t developed a hardened Firefox-based browser instead.

            Annoying as this is, it makes sense. Of course Chrome is the most secure browser in Google’s OS. Google controls the stack of software, and they have far more resources than Mozilla or Graphine combined could ever provide.
